Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis course is an introduction to Mount Shasta and surrounding areas that will present basic concepts in geology needed to understand the evolution of Mount Shasta and the eastern Klamaths. Topics to be discussed include volcanic processes and features, volcanic hazards, earthquakes, eruption predictability, geothermal activity, glaciation, mass wasting events, continental accretion and growth, tectonic- volcanic relationships, and ancient environments that long predate the much more recent formation of the Mt Shasta Volcanic Complex. This course may be offered in a distance education format. With its corequisite course, ESCI 36L, subject matter in this course will be matched to field locations during a three-day overnight field trip to and around the mountain and adjacent sites.
